bad British fun hope pleasure power they total understand win |
Is it true that we British people have a different sense of humor from people in other countries? Let’s have a look at what we laugh at in 【1】.
To us British people, 【2】 and important people often cause laughter. It’s not just politicians (政客) who make us laugh, but anyone whose job is to tell other people what to do and who takes 【3】 too seriously.
We laugh at the power, but also, pitifully, at anyone who is treated 【4】. We know they cannot win, but if they do win sometimes, it’s even 【5】. Our clowns (小丑) are often silly people doing silly things, while in America, they are often clever people doing clever things-and 【6】 at last.
The fact that we laugh when other people might feel 【7】 is one of the strangest things to learn about British humor. We do have a strong sense of irony (反讽). After some terrible experience, we might say, “Not very 【8】.” And we might say in the middle of a typhoon, “It’s a bit windy today” or “There is a tiny problem.” when something has gone 【9】 wrong. We don’t like to express strong feelings, but just “keep calm and carry on”.
Another thing that can make it difficult 【10】 British humor is that we don’t always laugh or even smile when we say something funny. We often keep a straight face or use an unsmiling expression when we’re making a joke.
Do you think the British sense of humor is special?

22、Henry was a very vain(虚荣的)man and he spent plenty of time looking at himself in the mirror. He even went to the barber’s shop every week to have his hair cut. He was nearly fifty, but he didn’t want people to know his age, so he always tried his best to make himself look younger. He also spent most of his money on clothes. He believed that every woman thought he was handsome. He did not have women friends but he had an explanation(解释)for this, “I’m so excellent that the women can’t make a perfect match with(和……般配)me. That’s why they don’t make friends with me.”
One day he bought a new special shirt from a high-fashion men’s shop. It was very expensive. When he got home and took it out of the box, he found a note in it. The note said, “Please write to me and give me a photo of yourself.” The note was signed “Julia” and there was an address to write to. Henry wrote to Julia at once, telling her about himself. Then he put a photo of himself in the envelope(信封)and posted it.
A week passed and then he received a reply. He opened it quickly, hoping there would be a photo of a beautiful woman inside and that she would like to make friends with him.
However, it was very disappointing(令……失望的)to him. The letter said, “Dear Henry, thank you for writing to me. I work in the clothes factory. Everyone in the factory wants to know what kind of fool will buy such an ugly shirt.”
